To get that same Pirate to 110 required almost a month. It just gets worse the higher you level. Want a new merc at level 115? Good luck either gonna cost you a couple hundred Million Game Currency or weeks of grinding. The PvP was rather fun [Imbalances aside] but the Grind to keep your team competitive was just Ugh.
I ended up quitting cause by that point the thought of leveling up a witch, exo, beast master just didn't sit right with me.
really at higher levels it is insanely easy to level mercs, in fact i just use quest xp to level mine up to 100 and they never actualy see combat before that then add them to party and hit up the mobs with +'s, im currently working in my elementalist (pirate is 115 spartan is 116) and my ele is rocking at 101 (usually a good day of questing gets them to middle 60s from level 1 day 1, then 72 day 2, then 78 then 2-3 levels a day until 95 where it slows down and takes a day or 3 to get a level) Once they hit lvl 90 if you want to speed them along put them in party for 90 94 great place to level lowbies. (up to about 100 or so). but i always pay the outageous fees for blessince licenses tho so im not dabbling in nix and higher gear yet.
Now the currency to make the crystals for B class mercs is crazy (my pirate and my spartan i tried to do at the same time and it nearly killed me, i just jackpotted 6600 crystals for my ele (70 conqueror boxes and 50 freezing boxes) and am in a 65m workload craft to refine 4000 of them to jewels so i change the jewels into redemption soul crystals) Even crafting and jackpotting the majority of the subcombines ill spend well over 100m on miscellanous items for it.
of course im the type of addict with 10 merc rooms (all bought off market) 120 main 116 n vike, bst, ora, mnk, art spt 115 inv pir can 113 pri lk exo hwar 110 gun 107 min 106 jan 102 pun 101 ele
I just did not have the playtime for that. Before quitting I had Spartan and Pirate at 110 Ele had just hit 100 but I was into Aztec and that place is just a chore to progress even with Blessing and AoE/Scroll spam. I do not regret the amount of time I put into the game, maybe if I could have afforded using Cash shop or had the time to Grind out osme Coin I might have played longer.
